Timp run today.  2nd year in a row to do this, but this time I took my top 5 boys and All-American Lucy Biles with me.  It was a nice day and we enjoyed the run, even though it was super tough.  I think we stopped a few more times than lst yaer because Lucy was struggling toward the top, but still ran 1 minute faster than Greg and I did last year.  1:52:35 to the top.  Wasn't as cold on top this time.  Legs were dead going down though, worse that last year.  We made it down in a total time of 3:22:47, so 3 minutes total slower than last year.  Glad we did it and glad the kids did well.  I hydrated and ate well, but still that run kicks your butt!  Good run though overall and everyone made it down safely.

Legs are tight still, especially the quads.  Hopefully I will feel better for Saturday.

The legs were super tight and sore still, not sure why I am doing this to myself again, but hopefully it will help me for the future.  I stayed at my sisters in Spanish and got up eary to get to the buses, turns out I could have slept a while loger because I stood around at the aprk for 45 minutes.  I bussed up with Tim and when we got to the top we went up the trail to the bathrooms that no one uses and hung out until almost race time.  I warmed up for a mile before and I could tell it was going to be rough with sore legs.

Not much to say about the race, I just tried to hang on the best I could like I did at Timp.  I sure it was a good training run, but not good for a race. Glad I did it though even though it hurt and I got whupped by all kinds of people.  It was good to see people that I haven't seen in a long time.  Cooled down 2 miles with Rory and Devra after.  Still placed 3rd in the age for not racing it.
